How to Stream Facebook Reviews to Your WordPress Website
Looking for ways to attract more customers to your business? You can start by appealing to their vanity. That is, by taking advantage of the fact that humans have a built-in need to be seen and recognized by others, especially when they are spending money. With every purchase that a customer makes, they have the opportunity to leave a review. If you can get reviews on social media, you can ensure that your potential customers know exactly what your product or service is and whether or not they’ll like it.
In this article, we will teach you the steps to integrate Facebook reviews with your WordPress website.
The Need For Reviews
Having customer reviews is great because it gives you an insight into whether or not your product or service is successful. However, people don’t always have the time to leave a review when they’ve purchased something. That’s why it’s important to get these reviews, whether ven they’re good or bad, when the customer has had the chance to leave their opinion.
According to HubSpot Blogs, 83% of consumers leave reviews after making a purchase. Additionally, 72% of people said that they trust online reviews as much as they trust personal opinions.
Businesses, especially small businesses, rely heavily on online reviews when it comes to attracting potential customers. While traditional methods of advertising (e.g., TV ads, radio ads, etc.) can be effective, businesses have discovered that allowing for customer reviews is a surefire way to gain trust and generate leads.
How To Integrate Facebook Reviews On Your WordPress Website
The first step towards getting Facebook reviews on your website is to sign up for a free account on Facebook. Once you have an account, you can start by entering your business’ website URL (including https:// if there’s a security problem) into the Facebook search bar. This should take you to your business’ page on Facebook. From there, click the little “i” in the upper right corner of the banner and select “Add Page.”
Then, you can enter a name for the new page and select the kind of content you’d like to promote (i.e., product reviews, store news, etc.). When you click “Add Page,” you’ll be able to see a preview of what your page will look like. It’s important to keep in mind that you can edit this preview at any time before the page goes live.
Introducing ReviewMeta
The next step is to integrate ReviewMeta into your WordPress website. This is an extension that helps you manage all of the product reviews that you have on social media. Additionally, ReviewMeta lets you keep track of all of the reviews that you’ve ever published and lets you find and connect with other reviewers based on your interests.
ReviewMeta is a free plugin and you can download it from the WordPress plugin directory. Just click on the “Install Now” button and follow the on-screen instructions. While the plugin is still in beta, it’s proven to be quite popular and has over 500,000 downloads already.
Step By Step
Once you have ReviewMeta installed on your WordPress site, it’s time to begin integrating your Facebook reviews into your website. To do this, you’ll first need to create a new post on your blog. Then, you can click the “+” symbol in the upper right corner of the WordPress dashboard and select “Add New.”
From here, you can enter a title for the new post and click on the little “i” in the upper right corner to open the WordPress menu. From the WordPress menu, click on the “Reviews” option to display your reviews. You can then click on any review to open it in a new tab.
From the review you’re viewing, you can then click the “Go To Contributor” button and be taken to the profile of the reviewer. If you’re not sure how to navigate your review, click the “Contact” button and send the reviewer a private message. Additionally, you can click on the “x” in the upper right corner of the review to close it and return to your WordPress dashboard.
Why Are Customers Reviewing Your Products On Facebook?
With any business, there are going to be some aspects that you can improve upon and some that you can’t. Most businesses, especially small businesses, are not going to be able to spend a large amount of money on advertising or marketing. That’s why they’re relying on word of mouth advertising and reviews to gain potential customers.
Many businesses are realizing that they can’t prevent bad reviews, but they can do something about the good reviews. For instance, if a business is receiving mostly negative reviews, they may decide to take action and try to find out what’s wrong. Or, if a business is receiving mostly positive reviews, they may decide that everything is just fine and keep doing what they’re doing. But, at the very least, they’ll know that they have some dissatisfied customers out there who may leave a bad review at any time. So, they may decide to take advantage of this and add more content and value to their product or service in order to gain more customers and keep existing customers satisfied.
Final Takeaway
As you can see, getting reviews on social media is quite easy to do and it’s proven to be quite effective. With every review, you get the opportunity to establish credibility and build trust with potential customers. Additionally, you can use the reviews on social media to point out any specific areas of your business that you’d like to see improved. This, in turn, may encourage some customers to leave a review about those specific areas. So, essentially, you’re gaining both trust and authenticity through reviews on social media.
